Rado’s New Captain Cook Proves One Detail Can Change Everything

Rado has completely changed the personality of their timepiece with the latest edition to its Captain Cook collection. Rather than reinventing one of its most recognisable watches, the Swiss watchmaker had focused on a single, striking detail: a shimmering golden dial that makes the vintage inspired icon bolder.

Originally introduced in 1962, the Captain Cook has built a reputation on clean proportions and practical functionality. Over the years, it has become one of Rado’s defining sports watches, balancing retro aesthetics with contemporary engineering. This latest release keeps that formula intact while injecting it with a fresh sense of confidence.

The centrepiece is unmistakably the dial. Finished with a diamond power-like golden texture, its surface catches and reflects light from every angle. Created through a complex multistage manufacturing process, the finish delivers a dynamic sparkle that constantly shifts as the watch moves. This makes the watch feel almost alive beneath the sapphire crystal. 

The textured execution gives the watch an organic character without becoming flashy. It adds warmth and personality to a design that has always leaned towards understated utility. 

Image Source: Rado

Still Every Bit a Captain Cook

Beneath its more expressive exterior, the watch remains faithful to the Captain Cook DNA.

Large hands and applied indices ensure excellent readability, while the rotating bezel, minute track and date display at three o’clock preserve the straightforward layout that has made the collection so enduring. Rather than loading the watch with unnecessary complications, Rado continues to prioritise clarity and functionality.

Powering the watch is the automatic Rado calibre R763, equipped with an antimagnetic Nivachron™ hairspring and offering an impressive 80-hour power reserve. White Super-LumiNova® on the hands, indices and bezel markers ensures visibility long after daylight disappears, while the watch maintains a professional-grade water resistance of 300 metres.

Image Source: Rado

The Sweet Spot in Size

One of the most practical updates has nothing to do with the dial. . Positioning itself neatly between the existing 37mm and 43mm versions, the new Captain Cook arrives in a 39mm stainless steel case For many collectors, this middle ground size strikes the ideal balance, offering substantial wrist presence without feeling oversized.

The polished stainless steel case is paired with a yellow gold coloured PVD bezel surrounding Rado’s signature black high-tech ceramic insert, creating a contrast that complements the warmth of the dial while retaining the collection’s sporty identity.

Image Source: Rado

One Watch, Two Personalities

The versatility extends beyond the case itself.Included with the watch are both a stainless steel rice grain bracelet and a black rubber strap. This allows owners to switch between a more refined or casual aesthetic using Rado’s EasyClip quick-release system.

The bracelet enhances the watch’s vintage character with polished centre links and brushed outer links, making it suitable for formal occasions. Swap to the lightweight rubber strap, and the Captain Cook takes on a more contemporary, sport-focused personality that feels equally at home by the water or on weekend adventures.

Image Source: Rado

A Modern Evolution 

Rado has chosen to evolve an icon through subtle but meaningful changes. The sparkling golden dial introduces a fresh visual identity. The 39mm case broadens its wearability, and the interchangeable straps make it easier than ever to adapt the watch to different occasions.

The result is a Captain Cook that respects its heritage while feeling distinctly modern. Proof that sometimes the smallest design changes can make the biggest impression.

The Rado Captain Cook (Ref. R32223258) is priced at RM12,600 and is available at Rado boutiques across KL.

Malaysia’s Sepang Circuit Rumoured To Return To F1 Calendar This Year For Stand-in Race

If you’re a Formula 1 (F1) fan, you’ll know that Malaysia’s very own Sepang International Circuit was part of the renowned championship until its last Grand Prix in 2017. However, there are rumours that Sepang may be returning to the race calendar.

Earlier this week, rumours emerged that Malaysia could return to the F1 calendar later this year. According to reports, the Malaysian Grand Prix is in the mix as stand-in alternatives if the Middle Eastern races cannot proceed. Back in March, the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) postponed the Qatar and Bahrain Grand Prix races due to the ongoing conflict in Iran, reducing the total number of Grand Prix races from 24 to 22.

SOURCES: MALAYSIAKINI
SOURCE: THE RACE

However, due to the recent escalation in the conflict, there’s a high possibility that the Bahrain Grand Prix will be cancelled. Before the recent escalation, officials had hoped to slot Bahrain in for a race in the first weekend of October, between the Azerbaijan and Singapore Grand Prix races. With the slot now empty, F1 officials are seeking potential locations to fill that gap.

According to reports, Sepang is one of the leading contenders for a last-minute alternative. Sources noted that the circuit may be capable of pulling off a quick turnaround event, since it’s right by an airport. Additionally, Malaysia is close to Singapore, where the next grand prix would take place. F1 is expected to make an early decision on this proposed October race in August when the championship enters its mid-season break.

While everything remains speculation, F1 fans have shared their reactions online, with many longtime enthusiasts excited for Sepang’s possible return. Before the circuit’s last grand prix, it had become a crowd favourite for being challenging and unpredictable, often producing gripping races. There have also been calls for Sepang’s return to the F1 calendar in recent years.

SOURCE: SEPANG INTERNATIONAL CIRCUIT
SOURCE: TWITTER (@f1speed_indo)

However, locals argue that Sepang is unlikely to return anytime soon, especially not at the last minute. Many cited cost issues, saying Malaysia may not have the financial capabilities to host a stand-in race. Despite being well-liked, Sepang pulled out of the F1 calendar because the local government couldn’t justify the huge race hosting fees demanded at the time. However, the circuit remains in regular use by the MotoGP and other international series.

For now, only time will tell whether Sepang will make a shock return to the F1 calendar. Meanwhile, the final two races of the year, Qatar on 29th November and Abu Dhabi on 6th December, are also facing uncertainties, putting Portugal’s Portimão circuit as a likely candidate for the season finale.
